First full-scale thematic analysis of Pina Bausch's 'Tanztheater',
critically evaluating the impact of modernist theatre on her
choreographic methodThis book presents a new reading of Pina
Bausch's dance theatre, orienting it within an international legacy
of performance practice. The discussion considers not only the
influence of German and American modern dance on Bausch's work but,
crucially, interrogates parallels with modernist and postdramatic
theatre (including Antonin Artaud, Samuel Beckett, Jerzy Grotowski,
and Robert Wilson), the influence of which has been largely
neglected in existing studies of her oeuvre.'Pina Bausch's Dance
Theatre' provides a wide-ranging study of Bausch's aesthetic and
methods of practice, with case studies ranging from the beginning
of her career to her final choreographies.Key FeaturesThe first
